How BCTC Determines Eligible Students & Award Amounts

As set forth by the U.S. Department of Education, the population of eligible students
must be eligible for Title IV, Federal Financial Aid. Beyond the initial eligibility
requirement, the institution has implemented an on-line student request/application
form by which the student will state how they have been impacted by the pandemic and
the disruption of college operations. The college review team will then evaluate
individual request based on the stated need. Additionally, the college will also
consider a student’s financial need as requested by the Secretary of Education.
